The PFA team of the year in the Premier League has been announced - and there are no representatives from Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham.

In fact, there are no players from any London clubs in the team of the year for the first time since the 1987-88 season, with Manchester City and Liverpool accounting for ten of the 11 places in the side, along with Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

That is despite some impressive performances through the course of the season from the likes of Eden Hazard at Chelsea, Son Heung-min at Tottenham and Crystal Palace full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Indeed, some fans have been taking to social media to state their opinions on who should - and who should not - be in the team of the year.

Leno was one of the leaders to be named Arsenal player of the year until his poor performances in losses to Crystal Palace and Wolves but he still gets the nod here - although it was a close run thing against Fabianski.

Vertonghen and Wan-Bissaka's selections at the back speak for themselves. Kolasinac has been panned for his defending but at certain points this season he has been Arsenal's focal point for creating chances!

In a more balanced side, that would be an asset, and Rudiger has made the best of a difficult situation having to defend in a team that can't.

Thankfully, he would have Rice ahead of him in midfield, paired with two of the year's most improved performers in Sissoko and Xhaka. Hazard and Son again pick themselves.

Had he not been injured, Kane could have taken the striker spot. Aubameyang has more goals than Lacazette but the Frenchman is proving himself to be a player fans would want to look to in a tight spot, and that is a quality that cannot be overlooked.

It is astonishing that Eden Hazard, with his goals and assists, has not made the PFA team of the season.

He has carried Chelsea almost by himself this season and is rightly a contender for player of the year.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka could stake a claim for being in the PFA team too, such has been his outstanding form for Crystal Palace.

Lukasz Fabianski gets the nod in goal, he has been terrific for West Ham, as has Declan Rice, while Moussa Sissoko has done extraordinarily well to turn his Spurs career around and become one of the first names on the teamsheet.

Elsewhere in my team there are the usual suspects - Harry Kane, Jan Vertonghen, Son Heung-min, N'Golo Kante and Antonio Rudiger.

Left-back was a difficult one, so I gave the nod to Sead Kolasinac who would seem to have had the best of a bunch of mediocre seasons in that position.

In a season in which no London club has challenged for the title, it is understandable that City and Liverpool dominate the PFA team of the year.

But that being said, there have been some standout performers from London-based sides, and the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Son Heung-min and particularly Eden Hazard must have been close to being named in the team.

I would have all three in my London team of the year without doubt, with a mixture of Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and West Ham players making up the rest.

In goal, Lukasz Fabianski has been superb for the Hammers and for me, has been the best goalkeeper from the London-based clubs, while at right-back, no-one comes close to the standard Wan-Bissaka has reached consistently this season.

Choosing the rest of the defence was not quite as easy, but Jan Vertonghen has been consistent for Spurs, with some standout performances along the way, including against Dortmund in the Champions League, while Antonio Rudiger has performed well in a below par Chelsea defence and Sead Kolasinac has done well at Arsenal, and takes the left-back slot due to there being a lack of other options.

Meanwhile, Son and Hazard can count themselves unlucky not to make the PFA team of the year, having both dragged their sides to some key results at different stages of the season.

Up front, I have gone with Alexandre Lacazette, who has proved on several occasions this season to be the man to come up with the goods at times when Arsenal have needed them, with Harry Kane's stop-start season through injury denying him the chance to win the Premier League's golden boot award to add to the one he won at the World Cup.

Most of this team picks itself but I really struggled to differentiate between Bernd Leno and Lukasz Fabianski in goal. In the end the benefit of the doubt has to go with the one who has made more stops, has a better save percentage and probably has made fewer calamitous errors.

Sead Kolasinac gets in by default in a position where few players have really stood out this season whilst if I were giving out an award for London player of the season I'd struggle to look to name more than one or two players who would be ahead of the brilliant Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

I was torn between Granit Xhaka and Moussa Sissoko, as the improvements they have made this season are a reminder that we can't expect every big money signing to hit the ground running immediately, the former in particular is proving to be one of Arsenal's most important players, but Sissoko's revival has been more remarkable and has seen him excel on a more consistent basis, including in the Champions League.

I nearly forgot Milivojevic, undoubtedly the most under-valued player in the league. He scores goals from open play and set pieces, keeps things tight in front of the Palace defence and is an exceptional leader. Of course Declan Rice has to be in there as well, he can do it all.

I could have picked any of Alexandre Lacazette, Harry Kane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the final striking spot but when in doubt it's goals that carry the day and the latter has scored a lot of them, from long-range screamers to instinctive poachers' efforts.

Outside of Allison and Ederson, Lukasz Fabianski has been arguably the next best keeper in the division, let alone best in London. He's a shoo-in.

I've gone for three centre backs, two of them from Spurs who have had excellent seasons and Chelsea's best defender this campaign, Antonio Rudiger. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has had a stellar campaign but left wing back was tough as no-one has really stood out, it was between Danny Rose and Patrick van Aanholt but I've plumped for the Palace man.

In midfield, Declan Rice has been superb for West Ham, while Moussa Sissoko deserves a place for the season he has had with Tottenham.

Up front, Eden Hazard has pretty much dragged Chelsea along all season and has been sensational at times. He's partnered by Spurs duo Heung Min-Son who I think is one of the best players in the league in all honesty, and Harry Kane because he's the best frontman in London, hands down.

While the actual PFA Team of the Year might have no London representatives, it shouldn't be said no London player had a good season. Eden Hazard is an automatic pick, while Heung-Min Son has been a machine despite playing so much football this season.

There's a case to be made for Declan Rice, but as chairman of the Calum Chambers fan club and seeing him all season long at Fulham he takes the West Ham player's place in my team. I think the rest of the side explains itself.

Lukasz Fabianski has enjoyed an excellent debut season at West Ham, and by all accounts, is on course to win their Player of the Season award. Aaron Wan-Bissaka can count himself highly unlucky to miss out on a PFA Young Player of the Year nomination after continuing to impress for Palace - surely the young defender will be playing Champions League football in the next two years.

The Spurs pair of Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen have had good seasons, while Sead Kolasinac sneaks in on account of his impressive attacking numbers and general importance to Unai Emery's system - seven assists from full-back shouldn't be sniffed at. Abdoulaye Doucoure has been an ever-present for Watford, and played a huge part of their run to the FA Cup final and league position of eighth. The Frenchman is another who is destined for a move to a top European club.

Declan Rice's fabulous form has seen him break into the England team and establish himself as one of the first names on Manuel Pellegrini's teamsheet - all at the age of 20. Moussa Sissoko looked as though he was about to be sold, but his comeback has been nothing short of miraculous, and is now a key member of Spurs' first team.

Mauricio Pochettino will be sweating over his fitness for the Champions League semi-final. Likewise, his teammate Heung-min Son will be a huge miss in the first leg against Ajax. Eden Hazard has contributed to 29 league goals this season - 16 goals and 13 assists, more than any other player. Chelsea's hopes of finishing in the top four or winning the Europa League will rest heavily upon the Belgian's shoulders.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has had a strange season, with the Gabon striker often shifted out wide to accommodate Alexandre Lacazette. But his output is undeniable - he is joint top scorer with Sergio Aguero and Mohamed Salah on 19 goals, and will still fancy his chances of being the first Arsenal player to win the Golden Boot since 2011/12.

It's something of a travesty that some of these players missed out on the official PFA team of the year and have to make do with being included in an unofficial London side.

Eden Hazard has once again been on another planet in some games this season, while Son Heung-Min has announced himself as one of the best forwards currently playing in Europe.

Defensively London sides haven't been great for a lot of the year but every member of this back five has stood out even on occasions when those around them have been busy making a mockery of the art of defending.

The midfield basically picks itself as all three have stepped onto another level this year, Rice in particular has been like a completely different player this year and worryingly for other sides still has a lot of time to improve throughout his career.

Andros Townsend gets in because watching him score screamers is one of the greatest joys Premier League football has to offer.

Scott Trotter - Multimedia producer

Is it really a team of the year without a formation that lacks any kind of balance?

Fabianski has been solid once again in goal, though he was definitely pushed close by Ben Foster who has had an immense impact on Watford's defence.

While I'm yet to be entirely convinced by Aaron Wan-Bissaka as a complete product, he has shown immense potential and stands out well above any other full-back in London.

Toby Alderweireld has came back to be a crucial part of Mauricio Pochettino's side, in a season that could have been lost with many expecting him to leave this summer, while Toni Rudiger had really found his place in a back four before his injury. Jan Vertonghen is perhaps Spurs' most important defender and put in a phenomenal performance at left back against Dortmund so finds his way into that position for me.

I'm a little light in midfield, but despite being played in a new position N'Golo Kante has continued to prove to be one of the Premier League's best midfielders, while Declan Rice may just be proving the hype is real and added some excitement with the issues surrounding his nationality.

Alexandre Lacazette is a player I've been really impressed with this season, and he is really shown his quality when there was a risk he could end up in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's shadow.

Son Heung-min just keeps getting better and better and somehow so does Eden Hazard, while Harry Kane has continued to score goals for Spurs, even though he has missed large chunks of the season!

Football is a distraction from the everyday mundanities of life; it's there to be enjoyed. And so my team is based on just that: players I've enjoyed watching this season.

This can either be for standout campaigns - I'm looking at Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Shkodran Mustafi for two vastly differing reasons, but both inarguably standout - or moments of bliss like Andros Townsend delivering goal of the season with his volley against Manchester City and Petr Cech somehow contriving to nearly score an own goal and giving away a corner while attempting to play out from the back (he's also retiring, so that's nice).

Son Heung-min for me has probably been the player of the season in terms of consistently high-quality output (not just in terms of goals). When you factor that he's covered admirably for Harry Kane up front and also managed to fit in an international tournament, he's had a remarkable year.

And Alexandre Lacazette has done well for Arsenal in the Premier League and in Europe.
